Bath chip & crack repair in Staden, Derbyshire
Problem with your bath in Staden? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in Staden without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Staden
Are there extra charges for Staden?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Staden
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
