What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Broughton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Broughton: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Broughton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Broughton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of North Lincolnshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Broughton?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- 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, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Broughton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
