Repair or replace in Sibford Gower?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath repair at your home in Sibford Gower
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sibford Gower as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Sibford Gower
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What affects the price in Sibford Gower
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sibford Gower. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
