Common problems we fix in Nibley

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS37 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Nibley: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Nibley?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BS37 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
