How we handle bath repair in Branthwaite
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Branthwaite
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in Branthwaite
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Branthwaite. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
