The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Eyam
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Eyam
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
