- Repairs from £95

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Bath repair at your home in Bratoft
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bratoft

Your questions about bath repair in Bratoft
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you come to Bratoft?
We do. We send a technician to Bratoft for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Bratoft
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
