How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
About our bath repair in Hartington
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hartington. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hartington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Hartington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
