Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Common questions in Gremista

Do you repair coloured baths?

How much does bath repair cost in Gremista?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Gremista, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Do you need bath repair in Gremista?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gremista. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gremista
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
