How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bray Shop. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bray Shop, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Bray Shop

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Bray Shop?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bray Shop?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL17 postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Bray Shop

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
