What affects the price in Donington
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Donington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Donington: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover Donington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Donington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Donington
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Donington?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
