Bath repair in Brough without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in Brough
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
