Bath repair across S49: what to expect
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Landmarks near Boythorpe
Typical jobs here are in homes near William Rhodes Primary School, Chesterfield St Helena School and Whitecotes pub. Other local landmarks include The Parish Church of Saint Augustine (0.5 miles south-east) and Parkside Community School (less than half a mile north).

Nearby you’ll also find Walton Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Municipal Borough of Chesterfield (0.9 miles north-east).
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in S49 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from S49
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
