What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Boulton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What affects the price in Boulton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Boulton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Derby. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Boulton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boulton and the rest of Derby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Common problems we fix in Boulton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
