About our bath repair in Hawksworth
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawksworth. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hawksworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawksworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
