What affects the price in Great Hampden
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Hampden
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What we are called out for in Great Hampden
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- 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. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
