What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath repair in Gibraltar without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Gibraltar?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Around Gibraltar
Around Gibraltar, we work in homes near Witnesham Primary School, Lord Nelson pub and Church of St Mary. The nearest railway station is Westerfield station, roughly 4.5 miles south. Well-known places in the area include East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital (5.8 miles south) and Claydon Hall (4.2 miles south-west). Not far away are Brooke House Nature Reserve.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Gibraltar questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Gibraltar?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gibraltar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
