How we handle bath repair in West Broughton

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around West Broughton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in West Broughton?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

West Broughton: your questions answered

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Are there extra charges for West Broughton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
