Common questions in Gillingham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gillingham.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Gillingham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Gillingham
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Gillingham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Gillingham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Gillingham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, 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.
