About our bath repair in Guilt Cross
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Guilt Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Guilt Cross
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Guilt Cross?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
