Bath Repair for Broad Alley homes
Problem with your bath in Broad Alley? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
Bath repair in Broad Alley without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Broad Alley
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Broad Alley questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Broad Alley
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
