Bath repair at your home in Broadclough
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Broadclough
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you work in Broadclough?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Broadclough from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
