About our bath repair in Bromfield
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Bromfield
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bromfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Questions from Bromfield
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bromfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
