Carsington questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Carsington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Carsington and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Bath repair in Carsington without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carsington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
