Trusted bath repair in Broken Cross

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath repair in Broken Cross, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Broken Cross questions

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Broken Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Broken Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common problems we fix in Broken Cross

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Broken Cross

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broken Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
