We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Common questions in Branchton
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

Advice
More services for Branchton
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Branchton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
