DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair in Brailsford, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Brailsford: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Brailsford?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you work in Brailsford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brailsford and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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 pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Brailsford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Brailsford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
