Lower Gravenhurst: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair show?
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Repair or replace in Lower Gravenhurst?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Lower Gravenhurst
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Lower Gravenhurst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
