About our bath repair in Braughing
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Questions from Braughing
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Braughing?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Braughing for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Braughing get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Braughing

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
