DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlord and trade work in Garthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Garthorpe. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Garthorpe
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Garthorpe
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
