Bath repair in Ockbrook, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE72 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Ockbrook: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath repair cost in Ockbrook?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE72 postcode.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Ockbrook
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What else we do in Ockbrook
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Materials we work on in Ockbrook
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
