Bath repair at your home in Broomfield
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Broomfield
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Broomfield and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Broomfield questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
