Bath repair in Grange without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grange. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Grange get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grange

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Grange, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Grange clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Grange

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Grange questions

Do you come to Grange?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Grange and the rest of Medway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
