What affects the price in Grindleforge
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Grindleforge questions

Do I need to be at home?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Grindleforge and the rest of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grindleforge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in Grindleforge
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
