Bath repair at your home in NG23

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Pricing in NG23

Around Collingham

In Collingham, that means homes near The Royal Oak pub, John Blow Primary School and All Saints' Church. There’s a railway station in Collingham itself: Collingham station. Other landmarks nearby include Newark Hospital (5.9 miles south) and Vinas Dolls Gallery (2.1 miles west). The countryside around Collingham includes Tunman Wood.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Your questions about bath repair in NG23

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
