Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

FAQs for Mansfield
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Mansfield?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Mansfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Mansfield. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlord and trade work in Mansfield
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.
If you manage property in Mansfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
