How we handle bath repair in Brierfield
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Brierfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
FAQs for Brierfield
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
