Common questions in Gillar's Green
Do you come to Gillar's Green?
We do. We send a technician to Gillar's Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
About our bath repair in Gillar's Green
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. 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’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Gillar's Green
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gillar's Green
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Do you need bath repair in Gillar's Green?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Gillar's Green?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
