Our bath repair service in NG20

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in NG20

What we’re called out for in NG20

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in NG20

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Your questions about bath repair in NG20

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
