Bath repair in Hampton without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Hampton: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hampton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Hampton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hampton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
