Bath repair at your home in Clifton

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Clifton customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Clifton?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Clifton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Clifton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

We do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
