How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pinxton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Pinxton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair in Pinxton, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What else we do in Pinxton
Repairing versus replacing in Pinxton
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Questions from Pinxton
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Pinxton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pinxton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlord and trade work in Pinxton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
