We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hadfield. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Hadfield: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Hadfield?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you cover Hadfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hadfield and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Hadfield
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
