How we handle bath repair in Hambrook
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Hambrook?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlord and trade work in Hambrook
For anyone letting property in or around Hambrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hambrook. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hambrook, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Hambrook: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
