Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Lower Hartshay
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lower Hartshay and across Derbyshire.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Lower Hartshay and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Landlord and trade work in Lower Hartshay
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
