How we handle bath repair in Hammerwood
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Hammerwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Hammerwood: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Hammerwood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
