How we handle bath repair in Hawkchurch
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkchurch
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkchurch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Hawkchurch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawkchurch, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
