Bath repair at your home in Brown Lees
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Brown Lees
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Brown Lees
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Brown Lees contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Brown Lees clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
