Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Garth Trevor?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Garth Trevor
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Garth Trevor and the rest of Denbighshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Garth Trevor
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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
