Bath repair in Hayne, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Hayne
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Hayne: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you come to Hayne?
We do. We send a technician to Hayne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hayne, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
