Our hiring checklist

About our bath repair in Lower Boddington

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Boddington. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Lower Boddington: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

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 we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
