How we handle bath repair in Gileston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Gileston: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Gileston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Gileston?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
Repairing versus replacing in Gileston
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

What else we do in Gileston
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
