Bath repair in Grovesend, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Grovesend
If you manage property in Grovesend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grovesend as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Grovesend. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Grovesend questions
Do you cover Grovesend?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grovesend and the rest of Swansea. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Grovesend?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
