How we handle bath repair in Braystones
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Braystones and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Braystones
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Braystones
Letting agents often 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braystones use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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.

What happens on the day
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. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Braystones questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braystones. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
