How we handle bath repair in Bracken Hill
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Bracken Hill
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items 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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Bracken Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
