Bath Repair in Dicklant
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Dicklant, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Bath repair in Dicklant without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common questions in Dicklant
Are there extra charges for Dicklant?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you come to Dicklant?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dicklant and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Dicklant
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath repair in Dicklant
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
