Bath repair at your home in Grainthorpe
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Grainthorpe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

What we’re called out for in Grainthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. 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 items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
Common questions in Grainthorpe
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you work in Grainthorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Grainthorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
