When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Broom

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

Bath repair in Broom, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Broom get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Broom

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Broom. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Broom customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Broom questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you come to Broom?

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

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When to call us in Broom

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
