Bath Repair in Grub Street
Our technicians come to Grub Street for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we handle bath repair in Grub Street
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Grub Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Grub Street
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Grub Street questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Grub Street?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
