DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Ruddington
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the entire of Nottingham?
Across the UK, so Ruddington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ruddington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Ruddington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
