FAQs for Garn-yr-erw
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Garn-yr-erw?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garn-yr-erw. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace in Garn-yr-erw?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
When to call us in Garn-yr-erw
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Garn-yr-erw. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
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 price the job.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
