About our bath repair in Grateley
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grateley and across Hampshire.

Signs you need bath repair in Grateley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Grateley
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Grateley?
We do. We send a technician to Grateley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grateley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
