What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we are called out for in Galston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Galston
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KA4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
