About our bath repair in Mackworth
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
If you are in Mackworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Mackworth: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Mackworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mackworth and the rest of Derby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Mackworth
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Mackworth
What we’re called out for in Mackworth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
