How we handle bath repair in Spennithorne
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Metal that has corroded all the way through

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Spennithorne

- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Spennithorne
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
