Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What affects the price in Brunswick
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brunswick. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common questions in Brunswick
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Brunswick?
We do. Technicians travel to Brunswick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Brunswick
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brunswick
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
