About our bath repair in Hemington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
FAQs for Hemington
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Hemington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hemington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Hemington?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
