Repairs by material
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, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
About our bath repair in Hathersage
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Hathersage: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When to call us in Hathersage
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
