How we handle bath repair in Galphay
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Galphay
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HG4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What else we do in Galphay
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Galphay
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
