How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath repair in Glaston without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Glaston

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you come to Glaston?

We do. We send a technician to Glaston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Common problems we fix in Glaston

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Glaston

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Glaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
