About our bath repair in Bradshaw
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What else we do in Bradshaw
Repairing versus replacing in Bradshaw
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Bradshaw
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work in Bradshaw?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bradshaw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradshaw. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bradshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Bradshaw
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
