Bath Repair in Brockham
Our technicians come to Brockham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair at your home in Brockham
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Brockham
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We work UK-wide, so Brockham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What affects the price in Brockham
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brockham. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brockham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brockham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we are called out for in Brockham
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Repair or replace in Brockham?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
