Bath repair at your home in Boylestone
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Boylestone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Boylestone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Boylestone: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover Boylestone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Boylestone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Boylestone?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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 the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Boylestone and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boylestone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
