Trusted bath repair in Rawson Green

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How we handle bath repair in Rawson Green

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawson Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath repair in Rawson Green?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
