When to call us in Garth Owen
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- 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
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Garth Owen
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover Garth Owen?
We do. We send a technician to Garth Owen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
