How we handle bath repair in Browns Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Browns Green
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items

Repair or replace in Browns Green?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Browns Green
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
