Bath repair in Grewelthorpe, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grewelthorpe as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, which makes it well 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 repair chips early.
FAQs for Grewelthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Grewelthorpe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Grewelthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Grewelthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grewelthorpe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
