Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

When to call us in Cropwell Butler

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cropwell Butler. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cropwell Butler. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Cropwell Butler

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are there extra charges for Cropwell Butler?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How much does bath repair cost in Cropwell Butler?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Nottinghamshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
