Bath repair at your home in Stoke Gabriel
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Gabriel
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairing versus replacing in Stoke Gabriel
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Stoke Gabriel
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Stoke Gabriel
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you cover Stoke Gabriel?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stoke Gabriel from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
