Bath repair at your home in Hathern
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. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hathern

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath repair in Hathern
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
