Bath repair at your home in Woodthorpe
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What we’re called out for in Woodthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Woodthorpe
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Woodthorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?
We cover the whole UK, including Woodthorpe and the rest of Nottingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
