Bath repair in Bruntingthorpe, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Bruntingthorpe?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about bath repair in Bruntingthorpe
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, 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.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bruntingthorpe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bruntingthorpe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
