Bath repair in Broadmeadows, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Broadmeadows
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Broadmeadows
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadmeadows as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Broadmeadows, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broadmeadows. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
