About our bath repair in Brafferton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Brafferton
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brafferton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brafferton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Brafferton questions
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Brafferton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Repairing versus replacing in Brafferton
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
