Bath repair in Blidworth Bottoms

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath repair in Blidworth Bottoms without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blidworth Bottoms. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Blidworth Bottoms get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Choosing a repair company

Blidworth Bottoms: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
