About our bath repair in Hepworth
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Hepworth questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Landlord and trade work in Hepworth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Hepworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hepworth. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
