How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Galley Common. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Galley Common, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our bath repair in Galley Common

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Galley Common

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Galley Common

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Do you need bath repair in Galley Common?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
