What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Gourdon
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Gourdon
What we are called out for in Gourdon
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Gourdon: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gourdon. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site
