Bath chip & crack repair in Broughton, Greater Manchester
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Broughton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Broughton
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
FAQs for Broughton
How do I get a price for bath repair in Broughton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Signs you need bath repair in Broughton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
