Bath repair at your home in Great Bromley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Great Bromley
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Great Bromley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Great Bromley?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
