Bath repair in Chellaston, done in place
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Chellaston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chellaston. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Chellaston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Chellaston
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Chellaston
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
