What affects the price in Brackley Gate
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brackley Gate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
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.
Brackley Gate: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Brackley Gate?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
