About our bath repair in Groombridge
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Groombridge
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you work in Groombridge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Groombridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Groombridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Repairing versus replacing in Groombridge
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Groombridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Groombridge
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
