The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bringhurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Bringhurst

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Bringhurst?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bringhurst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bringhurst

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bringhurst

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
