Hest Bank questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Bath repair in Hest Bank without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Do you need bath repair in Hest Bank?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
