Bath repair in Hackness without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Hackness: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Hackness?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What affects the price in Hackness
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hackness, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Hackness customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
