Bath repair in Gurney Slade without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Gurney Slade
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our full price list or bath cost comparison.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Gurney Slade: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Gurney Slade?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Gurney Slade?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gurney Slade for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
