What we’re called out for in Brackenhill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Brackenhill
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brackenhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Brackenhill
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
Across the UK, so Brackenhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
