How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Old Basford
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Basford
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Old Basford: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How much does bath repair cost in Old Basford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are there extra charges for Old Basford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
