Bath repair at your home in Higher Broughton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Questions from Higher Broughton
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Broughton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures 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 quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Higher Broughton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
