How bath repair works in GU3
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
What it costs in GU3
Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in GU3
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Your questions about bath repair in GU3
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
