Bath repair in Hacheston, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Hacheston questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hacheston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Hacheston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Hacheston
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
