Bath repair near West Bridgford

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Bath repair in West Bridgford, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

West Bridgford questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in West Bridgford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in West Bridgford

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
