Bath repair in Butterley without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Common problems we fix in Butterley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Butterley. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Other services in Butterley
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Butterley
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Butterley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE5 postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
