Ganstead questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?
The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. 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’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How we handle bath repair in Ganstead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Ganstead
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
