Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bath repair in Broughton Beck without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Broughton Beck
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Broughton Beck. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Do you need bath repair in Broughton Beck?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton Beck as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
