Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ault Hucknall. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath repair in Ault Hucknall

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
