How we handle bath repair in Brookhouses
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Brookhouses and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Brookhouses questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are there extra charges for Brookhouses?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brookhouses
If you manage property in Brookhouses, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Brookhouses?
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, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
