Bath Repair in Gilmorton
Local bath repair for Gilmorton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Bath repair in Gilmorton, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 usually the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Gilmorton
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Do you need bath repair in Gilmorton?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
