What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Calver
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlord and trade work in Calver
For anyone letting property in or around Calver, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Calver questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Calver?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S32 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Other services in Calver
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Calver. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Calver and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
