About our bath repair in Lower Gledfield
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Lower Gledfield
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lower Gledfield. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Lower Gledfield questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Lower Gledfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Lower Gledfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
