Bath repair in New Whittington without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in New Whittington
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, New Whittington included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
