Repair or replace in Brandsby?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need bath repair in Brandsby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended

Your questions about bath repair in Brandsby
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Brandsby?
We do. We send a technician to Brandsby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Brandsby and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
