Bath repair in North Brook End without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.

- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
North Brook End: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Brook End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
