What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

Bath repair in Graveley, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Graveley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
