How we handle bath repair in Littleover
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Littleover. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Littleover
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Repair or replace in Littleover?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Littleover?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlords, agents and businesses in Littleover
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
