Bath repair in Graveley, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Graveley. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Graveley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Graveley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
