What a repair can’t fix

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Broughton, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Broughton
Do you come to Broughton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Broughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repairing versus replacing in Broughton
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath repair in Broughton?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Broughton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
