Bath repair in Warslow, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Warslow and across Derbyshire.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Warslow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Warslow
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Your questions about bath repair in Warslow
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Warslow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Warslow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
