How we handle bath repair in Hamister
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 so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Hamister?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamister
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
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 under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Hamister
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
