Bath repair for Nobold homes

Bath repair in Nobold without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Nobold

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Nobold

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Nobold

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
