Bath repair at your home in Colston Bassett
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Colston Bassett
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colston Bassett as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides

- When it can be used again

What we cannot put right

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Questions from Colston Bassett
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
