These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Bath repair at your home in Babworth
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Babworth
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Babworth?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DN22 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Babworth and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
