FAQs for Garlinge Green
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need bath repair in Garlinge Green
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Garlinge Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
