About our bath repair in Grayrigg
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

FAQs for Grayrigg
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work in Grayrigg?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grayrigg for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Grayrigg is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we are called out for in Grayrigg
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Grayrigg
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
