Bath repair in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

What we are called out for in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath repair in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are there extra charges for Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kirkby-in-Ashfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot 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.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
