About our bath repair in Broadwell

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Broadwell

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

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

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 without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlord and trade work in Broadwell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Broadwell

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Are there extra charges for Broadwell?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Broadwell

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
