Bath repair in Bradley without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bradley
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we are called out for in Bradley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Bradley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Bradley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Bradley
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bradley. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Bradley

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
