How we handle bath repair in Hale Common
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Hale Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Hale Common
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Hale Common
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
