How we handle bath repair in Braunston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Braunston. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Braunston
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Braunston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
