Bath repair at your home in Broad Hill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broad Hill and across Cambridgeshire.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Broad Hill
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Questions from Broad Hill
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Broad Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Broad Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repairing versus replacing in Broad Hill
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

What we are called out for in Broad Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
