Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Broughton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath repair at your home in Great Broughton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath repair cost in Great Broughton?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Great Broughton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
