DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
About our bath repair in Brackenfield
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brackenfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Brackenfield
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Brackenfield. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
