About our bath repair in Garlandhayes
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Garlandhayes: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover Garlandhayes?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Garlandhayes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Repair or replace in Garlandhayes?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Garlandhayes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Garlandhayes
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
