How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we’re called out for in Hammer Bottom
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions from Hammer Bottom
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in Hammer Bottom?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hammer Bottom. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Hammer Bottom?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
