FAQs for Blackbrook
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Blackbrook?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Bath repair in Blackbrook, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Blackbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blackbrook. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
