The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath repair at your home in Gibraltar
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Gibraltar
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Gibraltar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gibraltar for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Gibraltar?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath repair cost in Gibraltar?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Common problems we fix in Gibraltar
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Gibraltar
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
