Bath repair at your home in DE7

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in DE7

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Local landmarks in Ilkeston

We visit homes around South East Derbyshire College, The Harrow pub and Ormiston Ilkeston Enterprise Academy. Also close by are Church of St Mary (less than half a mile south) and Chaucer Junior School (under half a mile east). The closest station to Ilkeston is Ilkeston station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Ilkeston Hospital (1.1 miles north-west) and Mr Vacuum Cleaner Museum (3.4 miles north-west).

Landlords, agents and businesses in DE7

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.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

The material
The colour and finish to match
The type of damage
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode

For a price in DE7, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DE7: your questions answered

Do you come to DE7?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to DE7 and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
