Bath repair in Broad Oak without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath repair in Broad Oak?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Broad Oak: your questions answered
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Broad Oak?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
