- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Hemingby without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Hemingby
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Hemingby
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Hemingby
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
