Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Hatch, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle bath repair in Hatch
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Hatch
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
