Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Hepscott Park questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hepscott Park
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
