Bath repair at your home in Broome
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Landlord and trade work in Broome
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broome use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in Broome
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What affects the price in Broome
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broome. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
