We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gumley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Gumley
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gumley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Gumley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gumley
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
