How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bath repair at your home in Blackfordby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackfordby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Blackfordby
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
When to call us in Blackfordby
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
