Bath repair in Nethergate without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repairing versus replacing in Nethergate
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Do you need bath repair in Nethergate?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nethergate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
