Bath chip & crack repair in Pilsley, Derbyshire
Fixed-price bath repair in Pilsley and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Pilsley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilsley
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pilsley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Pilsley questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
