How we handle bath repair in Broughton

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Broughton

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Broughton?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Broughton

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Broughton?

We do. We send a technician to Broughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Broughton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
