Bath repair for Broadwindsor homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadwindsor

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Bath repair in Broadwindsor without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Repair or replace in Broadwindsor?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Broadwindsor: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Broadwindsor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Broadwindsor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
