Thorpe in the Glebe: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe in the Glebe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Bath repair in Thorpe in the Glebe without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NG12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What else we do in Thorpe in the Glebe
Landlord and trade work in Thorpe in the Glebe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
