How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

About our bath repair in Grimsargh

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Grimsargh

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Grimsargh. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in Grimsargh

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
