How we handle bath repair in Garnethill

Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

What happens on the day

When we visit, 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.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

When to call us in Garnethill

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Scratches and burns

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while we work
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
