Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Bath repair in Howbrook without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Howbrook

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Your questions about bath repair in Howbrook

How do I get a price for bath repair in Howbrook?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you come to Howbrook?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Howbrook. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
