Bath repair in Garden City without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Garden City questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace in Garden City?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Garden City?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
