How we handle bath repair in Braidley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Braidley
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Braidley
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath repair in Braidley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Common problems we fix in Braidley
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
