DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair at your home in Grimsbury
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Grimsbury
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Questions from Grimsbury
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- 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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
