Bath repair in Braco

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Braco, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Braco

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Braco

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath repair in Braco

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
