Bath repair in Broad Lane

Repairing versus replacing in Broad Lane

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broad Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath repair in Broad Lane, done in place

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, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Broad Lane

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Broad Lane. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we are called out for in Broad Lane

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Broad Lane

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
