Bath repair in Hayden, done in place

We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

What affects the price in Hayden
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Hayden
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hayden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Hayden clients choose us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before booking

Questions from Hayden
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, 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 photo.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Hayden?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hayden. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hayden.
How much does bath repair cost in Hayden?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
