Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath repair in Bolham, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolham. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bolham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Bolham
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Bolham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bolham and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bolham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
