Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bentinck use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bentinck. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What affects the price in Bentinck
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath repair in Bentinck
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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 rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
