How we handle bath repair in Hawbush Green
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you have damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
In a village like Hawbush Green, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Do you need bath repair in Hawbush Green?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
In the older streets of Hawbush Green, around landmarks like Parish Church of All Saints, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hawbush Green. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath

Repair or replace: which is better?
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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Replacement in Hawbush Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Hawbush Green clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Hawbush Green
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Will you travel to Hawbush Green?
Yes, we do: small places like Hawbush Green are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
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 do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
