Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath repair in Fallgate

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Are there extra charges for Fallgate?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How much does bath repair cost in Fallgate?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Fallgate?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Fallgate and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What we are called out for in Fallgate

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fallgate

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

Repair or replace in Fallgate?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

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

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fallgate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
