Bath repair in Brede without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brede. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath repair in Brede
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brede use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
