Bath chip & crack repair in Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Walton-on-Trent, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
About our bath repair in Walton-on-Trent
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

FAQs for Walton-on-Trent
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, 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 photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
