Common questions in Broadwater Down
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath repair cost in Broadwater Down?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Broadwater Down?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What affects the price in Broadwater Down
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
