How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Brook Green
Your questions about bath repair in Brook Green
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Brook Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in Brook Green
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
