About our bath repair in Kirk Hallam

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirk Hallam

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirk Hallam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

Kirk Hallam: your questions answered

How much does bath repair cost in Kirk Hallam?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DE7 postcode.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
