Common questions in Gorse Hill
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How much does bath repair cost in Gorse Hill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
