Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
About our bath repair in Broadley Common
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broadley Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
