Bath repair at your home in Hatch Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hatch Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Hatch Green
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we’re called out for in Hatch Green
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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, normally by the next day, 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
