Book bath repair in Upton

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath repair in Upton, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Upton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Upton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Upton?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Upton clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Upton

Are you accredited?

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What we are called out for in Upton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
