Bath repair in Brogborough

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Brogborough?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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