Bath repair in Brookfield without replacing anything
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, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Brookfield
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About Brookfield
Brookfield is about 2 miles south-west of Middlesbrough, in Middlesbrough. From the centre of Brookfield to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Brookfield is one of 33 towns and villages in Middlesbrough where we work. We work right across the region, from Brookfield to Newcastle upon Tyne (35 miles away).
Every address in TS5, TS8 and TS17 is within our area. We regularly work on streets such as Low Lane, Trimdon Avenue and Holbeck Avenue and the roads around them. We also travel to Stainton (1 mile south-west), Hemlington (1 mile south-east), Acklam (1 mile north-west), Thornton (1 mile south) and Saltersgill (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Park End (3 miles north-east), Berwick Hills (3 miles north-east), Whale Hill (5 miles north-east), Normanby (4 miles north-east), Newtown (4 miles north-west) and Nunthorpe (3 miles east). Being one of Middlesbrough’s larger places, Brookfield is somewhere we visit frequently.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Your questions about bath repair in Brookfield
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brookfield.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
