Bath repair at your home in Spalford

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spalford

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

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 a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Spalford questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Spalford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Spalford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in Spalford

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Spalford

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Spalford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
