Bath repair near Broxtowe

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Bath repair in Broxtowe without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need bath repair in Broxtowe?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Broxtowe: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broxtowe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
