About our bath repair in Hathershaw
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hathershaw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Hathershaw
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you work in Hathershaw?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hathershaw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What affects the price in Hathershaw
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hathershaw. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
