Fixed-price bath repair in Hales Place and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath repair in Hales Place without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hales Place as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hales Place. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath repair in Hales Place
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Are there extra charges for Hales Place?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you need bath repair in Hales Place?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
