How bath repair works in GL3

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should you replace it?

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.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in GL3

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

GL3 questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in GL3?

We do. We send a technician to GL3 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
