Bath repair in Hanlith without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Hanlith questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Hanlith
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hanlith. The price reflects:

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Usually one visit, start to finish
