About our bath repair in Brockley Green

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Brockley Green

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Brockley Green

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brockley Green. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath repair in Brockley Green

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does bath repair cost in Brockley Green?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
