Bath repair in Butterley, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Butterley: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

About Butterley
Butterley is about 7 miles north-west of Ripley, in Derbyshire. Anywhere in S45, we carry out the work at your property. Butterley is one of 532 towns and villages in Derbyshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Butterley to Manchester (38 miles away).
Our visits in S45 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We also travel to Doehole (1 mile south-east), Milltown (1 mile north-east), Mathersgrave (1 mile south-east), Dalebank (1 mile north-east) and Fallgate (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Chesterfield (7 miles north), Ilkeston (13 miles south-east), Belper (8 miles south), Heanor (10 miles south-east), Dronfield (11 miles north) and Ripley (7 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Butterley
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Highfields School. Butterley’s nearest station is Matlock station, roughly 3.1 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Clay Cross Hospital (3.8 miles north-east) and Willersley Castle (3.6 miles south-west).
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlord and trade work in Butterley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butterley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Butterley
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not 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’ll get a fixed figure back.
