Our bath repair service in NG15
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Signs you need bath repair
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 is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in NG15
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around NG15, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
NG15 questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
