Bratton Seymour: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start 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 us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Common problems we fix in Bratton Seymour

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bratton Seymour use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Bratton Seymour

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
