Common problems we fix in Branahuie

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlord and trade work in Branahuie

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about bath repair in Branahuie

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Branahuie.

How soon can you come?

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Branahuie, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
