Landlord and trade work in Ganavan
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Ganavan, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Ganavan: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Ganavan
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
