Bath repair at your home in Broom
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Broom get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broom
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Broom: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Broom
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
