Repairing versus replacing in Brind
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Brind
What areas do you cover?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Brind?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Brind
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
