Bath repair in Cuckney

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath repair in Cuckney

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Cuckney

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

FAQs for Cuckney

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
