Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in The Meadows, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in The Meadows
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The Meadows: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover the entire of Nottingham?
We work UK-wide, so The Meadows is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover The Meadows?
We do. We send a technician to The Meadows for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in The Meadows
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.
If you manage property in The Meadows, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
