About our bath repair in Hemley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Hemley
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hemley. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Everywhere in the UK, Hemley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What else we do in Hemley
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
