Bath repair across DE24: what to expect

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Further afield, we also cover the area around Royal Crown Derby Museum (within half a mile east) and Derbion (0.5 miles north-east).

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

What we’re called out for in DE24

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

What affects the price in DE24

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for DE24. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Questions from DE24

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in DE24.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
