How bath repair works in GL1

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

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, normally the following day.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
A steel bath rusted through

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for GL1. The price reflects:

Whether we combine several jobs
Access to the area
The type of damage
How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for GL1. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
A wider photo showing the entire bath
What it’s made of, if you know
Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around GL1, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

GL1: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in GL1.

Do you come to GL1?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to GL1 and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
