About our bath repair in Besthorpe
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Besthorpe and across Nottinghamshire.

Signs you need bath repair in Besthorpe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole

Common questions in Besthorpe
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Besthorpe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Besthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Besthorpe and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Besthorpe
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
