Bath repair near Brooklands

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we handle bath repair in Brooklands

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Brooklands

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Brooklands included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath repair cost in Brooklands?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brooklands as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Brooklands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Brooklands

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Brooklands

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
