Bath repair for Broadsea homes

Bath repair in Broadsea without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Broadsea

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Broadsea

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Broadsea

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Broadsea is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadsea

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Repairing versus replacing in Broadsea

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
