How we handle bath repair in Hessle
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hessle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

We don’t 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.

What we are called out for in Hessle
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
