A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

FAQs for Rose-an-Grouse

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, so Rose-an-Grouse is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

What we’re called out for in Rose-an-Grouse

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
