Bath repair in Charlesworth without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Charlesworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Charlesworth: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath repair in Charlesworth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK13 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

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 you come to Charlesworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Charlesworth and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
