Bath repair in Broughton Mills, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

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.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Do you need bath repair in Broughton Mills?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Broughton Mills: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Broughton Mills?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LA20 postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Broughton Mills
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Broughton Mills. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broughton Mills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
