When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Chapel Brampton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Chapel Brampton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Chapel Brampton
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Chapel Brampton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
