Repair or replace in Garth Row?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from Garth Row
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the entire UK, including Garth Row and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Garth Row. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Garth Row?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, normally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
