Bath repair in Land Gate, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Common problems we fix in Land Gate
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Land Gate
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
