We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Bath repair at your home in Broughtown
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Broughtown: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Broughtown
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Broughtown
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
