Bath repair in Hethel without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What else we do in Hethel
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Hethel
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hethel. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Hethel
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hethel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hethel
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hethel use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
