How we handle bath repair in Higher Broughton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Higher Broughton as everywhere else we work. 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.

When to call us in Higher Broughton

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Broughton

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Higher Broughton

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you cover Higher Broughton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Higher Broughton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
