Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Questions from Great Hinton
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Hinton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Great Hinton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

- Whether a trained technician does the job

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
