Common problems we fix in British
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in British as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in British?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from British
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, British included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
