About our bath repair in Nomansland
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Nomansland
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What else we do in Nomansland
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we are called out for in Nomansland
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Nomansland contact us are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Nomansland. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
