About our bath repair in Braeside
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Braeside as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Braeside
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Braeside
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Braeside. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Braeside, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair in Braeside
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
