Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Great Wilne without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Great Wilne questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Great Wilne?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Great Wilne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath repair in Great Wilne
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace in Great Wilne?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of

- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Great Wilne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
