How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brookville. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Brookville and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our bath repair in Brookville

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need bath repair in Brookville

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Our hiring checklist

Brookville: your questions answered

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Brookville?

We do. Technicians travel to Brookville from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
