How we handle bath repair in Gracemount
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Gracemount
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gracemount as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Gracemount
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gracemount. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
