Common questions in Breretonhill
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
About our bath repair in Breretonhill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Breretonhill and across Staffordshire.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Breretonhill. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WS15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Breretonhill
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
