How we handle bath repair in Broadway
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Broadway
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Broadway: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in Broadway
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
