Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Great Gonerby, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Great Gonerby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Gonerby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairing versus replacing in Great Gonerby
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Great Gonerby questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NG31 postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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.
When to call us in Great Gonerby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
