All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

Materials we work on in Galton Village

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in Galton Village

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Galton Village?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Galton Village

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
