Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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’s the part we put right.
Bath repair in Bolehill, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bolehill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Bolehill
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
