Bath repair for Garth homes

About our bath repair in Garth

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Garth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Questions from Garth

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the entire of Denbighshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Garth

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Garth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Garth customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Common problems we fix in Garth

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Common reasons people in Garth contact us include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
