- Repairs from £95

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair in Great Bridgeford, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Great Bridgeford
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Bridgeford. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath repair in Great Bridgeford
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Great Bridgeford

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Your questions about bath repair in Great Bridgeford
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Great Bridgeford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
