Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hazlerigg. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hazlerigg. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Hazlerigg

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Hazlerigg

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Hazlerigg?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Repair or replace in Hazlerigg?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
