Bath repair in Branbridges without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Branbridges
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Your questions about bath repair in Branbridges
Are there extra charges for Branbridges?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Branbridges. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
