Bath repair in Haythorne, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Haythorne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Haythorne
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Haythorne?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Haythorne
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Haythorne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we are called out for in Haythorne
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
