Bath repair across Derby: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 next day.
What it costs in Derby
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What affects the price in Derby
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Derby. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Derby
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
