How we handle bath repair in Brimscombe
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Brimscombe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Brimscombe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Brimscombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Brimscombe questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
