Bath repair at your home in Cold Brayfield
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 is what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Cold Brayfield
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
