The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What bath repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Grange. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Grange

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When to call us in Grange

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
