Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area

How we handle bath repair in Hawkedon
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Questions from Hawkedon
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What affects the price in Hawkedon
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair in Hawkedon
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkedon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step
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. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
