Common problems we fix in Bretford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides

Bath repair in Bretford, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bretford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Bretford
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Bretford and the rest of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
