Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Bradley as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Bradley
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Questions from Great Bradley
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How invisible is a bath 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 there extra charges for Great Bradley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Do you need bath repair in Great Bradley?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Bradley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Great Bradley
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Bradley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
