How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Branton Green
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Branton Green
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Questions from Branton Green
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Branton Green and the rest of York. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Branton Green
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
