Bath repair in Hollingwood without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Hollingwood
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Hollingwood
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Hollingwood
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in Hollingwood
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
