Bath repair at your home in Broadwater

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Broadwater and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Broadwater

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Broadwater

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. 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 book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Broadwater questions

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What affects the price in Broadwater

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Broadwater. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
