About our bath repair in Braunston-in-Rutland
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Braunston-in-Rutland and across Rutland.

Your questions about bath repair in Braunston-in-Rutland
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Rutland?
Across the UK, so Braunston-in-Rutland is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What we are called out for in Braunston-in-Rutland
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Repair or replace in Braunston-in-Rutland?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
