About our bath repair in Brockley Elm

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Brockley Elm?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Brockley Elm: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Signs you need bath repair in Brockley Elm

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Brockley Elm. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Brockley Elm get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
