Bath repair at your home in Brayford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Brayford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Brayford
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
