How we handle bath repair in Broad Green

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Broad Green

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Broad Green included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broad Green

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Broad Green

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Repair or replace in Broad Green?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
