Repair or replace in The Grove?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in The Grove
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The Grove questions
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, The Grove included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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 without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
