Bath repair at your home in Halfkey
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Halfkey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Halfkey questions
Do you cover the whole of Worcestershire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WR14 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
