Our bath repair service in S21
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Prices in S21
Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Near you in Killamarsh
Our clients here include homes close to The Angel pub, Church of St Giles and Mount St Mary's College. For rail, the closest station is Kiveton Bridge station, roughly 2.4 miles north-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Crystal Peaks (2 miles north-west).
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we 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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
What we’re called out for in S21
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Common questions in S21
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
