Bath Repair for Aller Grove homes
Problem with your bath in Aller Grove? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath repair in Aller Grove
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aller Grove
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Aller Grove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Aller Grove
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
