Bath repair in Castle Donington without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Donington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Castle Donington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
