How we handle bath repair in Bracon Ash

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Bracon Ash

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Bracon Ash

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bracon Ash. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
