About our bath repair in Brincliffe
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. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Brincliffe
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we’re called out for in Brincliffe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What else we do in Brincliffe
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brincliffe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Brincliffe
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
