How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Grinshill

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Grinshill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When to call us in Grinshill

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grinshill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Grinshill clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
