Bath repair in Brawby without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Brawby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brawby. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Brawby: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Brawby?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Brawby?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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 fails, we can still put it right.
