About our bath repair in Garth
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Garth?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Garth

Common questions in Garth
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Garth.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- 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.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Garth, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
