Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath repair in Hanningfield Green without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Hanningfield Green
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Hanningfield Green
Are there extra charges for Hanningfield Green?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hanningfield Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
