Bath repair near Bratch

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Bratch

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bratch questions

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Bratch included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Are there extra charges for Bratch?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
