About our bath repair in Caythorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Caythorpe. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Caythorpe clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When to call us in Caythorpe
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Questions from Caythorpe
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caythorpe.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
