Bath repair in Brough, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brough
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about bath repair in Brough
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Brough is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Brough.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. 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, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
