FAQs for Yeldersley

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Yeldersley. Prices do not change with location.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Yeldersley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Yeldersley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Yeldersley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Yeldersley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath

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.
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’s the part we put right.

What else we do in Yeldersley
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Yeldersley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
