What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
About our bath repair in Grimston
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Grimston
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Questions from Grimston
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE14 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you cover Grimston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grimston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Grimston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
