Bath repair in Grafton, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Grafton
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Grafton and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Grafton
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
