When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Gibraltar
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gibraltar use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Gibraltar
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Gibraltar customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Gibraltar
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Gibraltar?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK43 postcode.
Do you cover Gibraltar?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gibraltar. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need bath repair in Gibraltar?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
