Weston Underwood questions
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Weston Underwood?
Generally, yes. Older baths are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Do you come out to small places like Weston Underwood?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
About our bath repair in Weston Underwood
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Weston Underwood, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Weston Underwood
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Landlords with property near Duffield station (about 3.3 miles east) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Weston Underwood homes and their baths

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weston Underwood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
