Bath repair at your home in Gillow Heath
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace in Gillow Heath?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we are called out for in Gillow Heath
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Gillow Heath
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
