About our bath repair in Stainsby
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stainsby and across Derbyshire.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we are called out for in Stainsby
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Common questions in Stainsby
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Stainsby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stainsby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
