About our bath repair in Broughton

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Broughton

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Broughton?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
