Bath repair near Broxa

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair in Broxa, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in Broxa

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

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.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Broxa

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Broxa. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

What we’re called out for in Broxa

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
