How we handle bath repair in High Garth
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

High Garth questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in High Garth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to High Garth and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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.

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
When we visit, 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, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
