Repairing versus replacing in Gotham
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Gotham
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Covering Gotham
Gotham is about 3 miles south of Clifton, in Nottingham. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Gotham is one of 51 towns and villages in Nottingham we cover. We work right across the region, from Gotham to Birmingham (40 miles away).
Every address in NG11 is covered. You will find streets such as Curzon Street, Malt Street and Holland Close. We also cover the places around Gotham: Thrumpton (1 mile west), New Kingston (2 miles south-west), Barton in Fabis (2 miles north-west), West Leake (2 miles south) and Kingston on Soar (3 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Nottingham (7 miles north), Arnold (10 miles north), Bulwell (9 miles north), Sneinton (7 miles north-east), St Ann's (7 miles north-east) and Clifton (3 miles north).
Near you in Gotham
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Gotham Primary School and St Lawrence's Church. The nearest railway station is East Midlands Parkway station, about 2.5 miles west. A little further out are Queen's Medical Centre (5.3 miles north) and Ruddington Village Museum (2.8 miles north-east). Open spaces near Gotham include Wilford Hill and Attenborough Nature Reserve.
Landlord and trade work in Gotham
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Materials we work on in Gotham
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Gotham
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
