Bath repair for Grofield homes

Grofield: your questions answered

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair show?

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

About our bath repair in Grofield

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repair or replace in Grofield?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Grofield customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Grofield. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grofield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Grofield

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
