When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

About our bath repair in Brean

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brean as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Brean

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

Repair or replace in Brean?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Brean questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you work in Brean?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Brean from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
