Bath Repair for Fritchley homes
Our technicians come to Fritchley for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Fritchley, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath repair in Fritchley
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Fritchley. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Fritchley?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repairing versus replacing in Fritchley
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
