Bath repair in Lady Bay

About our bath repair in Lady Bay

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lady Bay and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Lady Bay: your questions answered

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we are called out for in Lady Bay

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

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 usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Lady Bay

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lady Bay. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Lady Bay

For anyone letting property in or around Lady Bay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
