Bath chip & crack repair in Brigsley, North East Lincolnshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Brigsley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Bath repair in Brigsley, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Brigsley?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Brigsley
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Brigsley
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Brigsley: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Brigsley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
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.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
