Bath repair for Gill's Green homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gill's Green. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath repair at your home in Gill's Green

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Gill's Green

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath repair in Gill's Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
