How bath repair works in GU4
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
What it costs in GU4
Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the damage happens
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Landlord and trade work in GU4
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in GU4 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in GU4
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover GU4?
We do. We send a technician to GU4 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
