About our bath repair in Chilcote
We’ve 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. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chilcote and across Derbyshire.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. 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.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Chilcote
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DE12 postcode.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilcote use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
