Hainworth: your questions answered
Do you come to Hainworth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hainworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hainworth?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Bath repair at your home in Hainworth
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hainworth. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Hainworth
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Hainworth
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
