Bath repair in Brownhill without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Brownhill
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What affects the price in Brownhill
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Brownhill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What we are called out for in Brownhill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
