Repair or replace in Branksome?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Branksome
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
