DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

- Deep scratches in acrylic

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Hendra: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hendra?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR12 postcode.
What affects the price in Hendra
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hendra. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hendra. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
