Bath repair in Bracebridge Heath, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bracebridge Heath. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Bracebridge Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Bracebridge Heath
Will you leave a mess?

How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
