Bath repair at your home in Claypole
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What affects the price in Claypole
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Claypole. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Claypole
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Claypole and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
