DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Hayfield

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hayfield and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Advice

Common problems we fix in Hayfield

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Hayfield

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
