About our bath repair in Spinkhill
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What else we do in Spinkhill
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Spinkhill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Spinkhill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in Spinkhill
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Spinkhill: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Spinkhill. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
