Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Brook
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Brook
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath repair in Brook?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
