Bath repair in Garway without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Garway
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Garway?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
