Bath repair in Folksworth without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Folksworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we are called out for in Folksworth
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Folksworth questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Folksworth?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Folksworth
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace in Folksworth?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
