How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need bath repair in Allestree
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in Allestree
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover the whole of Derby?
The entire UK, including all of Derby. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace in Allestree?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
