How we handle bath repair in Broom Hill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Broom Hill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Broom Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Broom Hill
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath

Broom Hill: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Broom Hill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Broom Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Broom Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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, avoiding abrasives.
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.
