Bath repair at your home in Braddocks Hay
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Braddocks Hay: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
We work UK-wide, so Braddocks Hay is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Braddocks Hay
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Braddocks Hay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in Braddocks Hay
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braddocks Hay
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
