DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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.
- 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 generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What affects the price in Hanging Houghton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Hanging Houghton
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
