How we handle bath repair in Haisthorpe
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start 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.

Haisthorpe questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you come to Haisthorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Haisthorpe and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
