Bath repair in Bracebridge without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Bracebridge
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bracebridge.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in Bracebridge
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bracebridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bracebridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
