Bath repair in Gelsmoor without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gelsmoor and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Gelsmoor
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gelsmoor
For anyone letting property in or around Gelsmoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Most customers in Gelsmoor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath repair in Gelsmoor?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
