When to call us in Brown Moor

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How we handle bath repair in Brown Moor

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath

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

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, 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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Brown Moor customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Brown Moor

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
