- Holes from dropped items
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Hawks Stones
Do you cover Hawks Stones?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawks Stones from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
