Our bath repair service in GU23
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

What affects the price in GU23
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for GU23. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in GU23 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Common questions in GU23
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
