Bath Repair in Broughton

Broughton and the surrounding area

Broughton is about 1 miles north-east of Salford, in Greater Manchester. Our technicians come to customers in Broughton and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Broughton is one of 72 places in Greater Manchester we cover.

We work across the M7, M8 and M3 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as Oak Road, The Avenue and Fairy Lane and the roads around them. You’ll find Broughton on the A56 and A6010, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also travel to Strangeways (1 mile south-east), Blackfriars (1 mile south), Salford (1 mile south-west), Paddington (1 mile south-west) and Northern Quarter (1 mile south-east). Broughton is among the bigger towns we cover in Greater Manchester.

Landmarks near Broughton

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Beis Yaakov High School, The Meadow and Co-operative College. Broughton’s nearest station is Manchester Victoria station, roughly 1 mile south-east. A little further out are Manchester Jewish Museum (0.9 miles east) and All Saints' (2.2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Unicorn Grocery and Boating lake.

Bath repair at your home in Broughton

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broughton as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When to call us in Broughton

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Scratches and burns
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while we work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Broughton?

Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
