Bath repair at your home in DE4
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
What it costs in DE4
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
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’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in DE4

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
