Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle bath repair in Higher Gamesley
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Higher Gamesley
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Higher Gamesley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Higher Gamesley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Higher Gamesley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Most customers in Higher Gamesley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath repair in Higher Gamesley?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
