Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Matlock Bath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
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.
What we’re called out for in Matlock Bath
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
