Bath repair in Wirksworth, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wirksworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairing versus replacing in Wirksworth
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wirksworth. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wirksworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Wirksworth
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Wirksworth questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
