Bath repair near Brown Edge

Bath repair in Brown Edge without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Brown Edge

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Brown Edge questions

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How much does bath repair cost in Brown Edge?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Brown Edge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brown Edge and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Brown Edge

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
