Bath repair at your home in Hamstead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Hamstead
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hamstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hamstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Questions from Hamstead
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
