How we handle bath repair in Garthamlock
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Garthamlock
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common problems we fix in Garthamlock
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Garthamlock contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
