About our bath repair in Hallthwaites
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What else we do in Hallthwaites
Common questions in Hallthwaites
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hallthwaites. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you come to Hallthwaites?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hallthwaites. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
If you are in Hallthwaites and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Hallthwaites?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
