About our bath repair in Hessenford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Hessenford
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Signs you need bath repair in Hessenford
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.

What else we do in Hessenford
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hessenford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 charge the same across the UK, including Hessenford. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
