How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How we handle bath repair in Hawkswick
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hawkswick
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Hawkswick
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you cover Hawkswick?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hawkswick and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
