Bath repair at your home in Grove
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Grove
For anyone letting property in or around Grove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the whole UK
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Grove
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
