Bath and surface repairs in Derby

About bath repair in Derby

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and scratches and burns.

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
