How we handle bath repair in Castleton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Castleton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Castleton?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath repair in Castleton
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How much does bath repair cost in Castleton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
