Bath repair across NG3: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Repairing versus replacing
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NG3 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in NG3
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
NG3 questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
