The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare

- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
About our bath repair in Spinney Hills
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Spinney Hills
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Spinney Hills
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
