Bath repair in Brownedge

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 what we repair.

About our bath repair in Brownedge

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Brownedge

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Brownedge

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Brownedge questions

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Brownedge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Brownedge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
