About bath repair in Derbyshire

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and chips under the taps.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Pricing in Derbyshire

Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Derbyshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Landmarks near Chesterfield

Typical jobs here are in homes near Parkside Community School, St Mary's Catholic Primary and Holy Trinity Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are Chesterfield St Helena School (less than half a mile east) and Chesterfield Arms (under half a mile north-east). The nearest railway station is Chesterfield station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Walton Hospital (1.3 miles south) and Municipal Borough of Chesterfield (0.9 miles south-east).

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Derbyshire, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Questions from Derbyshire

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Derbyshire.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
