Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Awsworth?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Awsworth

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we’re called out for in Awsworth

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Awsworth

How do I get a price for bath repair in Awsworth?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, 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 photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
