Bath repair in Hawridge, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Hawridge
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are there extra charges for Hawridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawridge
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hawridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the entire UK
Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need bath repair in Hawridge?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
