Bath repair in Hapton, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and chips under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Hapton questions
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Hapton?
We do. We send a technician to Hapton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
If you’re in Hapton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hapton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Hapton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
