Bath Repair in Hallgarth
Our technicians come to Hallgarth for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath repair in Hallgarth
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.

Advice
What we are called out for in Hallgarth
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hallgarth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hallgarth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
