Bath repair in High Peak Junction, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in High Peak Junction
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE4 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- 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: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
