About our bath repair in Gosmore
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in Gosmore
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need bath repair in Gosmore?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
