It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

How we handle bath repair in Watnall
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Watnall

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- No need to remove anything

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Watnall
DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
