Bath repair at your home in Sutton Scarsdale
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sutton Scarsdale and across Derbyshire.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Sutton Scarsdale
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Sutton Scarsdale?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Sutton Scarsdale: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Sutton Scarsdale included. Travel is included in the price.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
