About our bath repair in Garnethill
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Garnethill
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garnethill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Garnethill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Garnethill?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

When to call us in Garnethill
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
