Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
What we are called out for in Garrabost
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Garrabost contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

FAQs for Garrabost
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Repair or replace in Garrabost?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
