Bath repair in Ticknall without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Ticknall
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Ticknall
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
