About our bath repair in Grimesthorpe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and chips under the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Grimesthorpe: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

When to call us in Grimesthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Grimesthorpe contact us are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work

Other services in Grimesthorpe
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimesthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
