Bath Repair in Alvaston
Bath repair across Alvaston and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair at your home in Alvaston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Alvaston questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derby, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Advice
What we are called out for in Alvaston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Alvaston
If you manage property in Alvaston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
