How we handle bath repair in Fernwood
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Fernwood
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernwood
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 in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
