For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broom Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Broom Hill questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Broom Hill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the repair last?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Broom Hill

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
