Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Bath repair in Tintwistle, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tintwistle and across Derbyshire.

Common questions in Tintwistle
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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 there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
