Damaged bath in Hackthorpe? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items

How we handle bath repair in Hackthorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Hackthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Hackthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Hackthorpe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, 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 we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Questions from Hackthorpe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
