Bath repair in Rosliston without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Rosliston: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Rosliston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
