What affects the price in Nottingham

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Nottingham. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Nottingham

Do you cover Nottingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nottingham and the rest of Nottingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Nottingham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

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.

Related advice

When to call us in Nottingham

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we work on in Nottingham

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nottingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
