FAQs for Hesters Way
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How we handle bath repair in Hesters Way
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Hesters Way
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repairing versus replacing in Hesters Way
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Hesters Way
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
