Questions from Gorstage
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gorstage. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gorstage, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
