FAQs for Hale
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Hale?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Hale
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.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What else we do in Hale
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
