What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we handle bath repair in Hextable
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath repair in Hextable?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day
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 few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Hextable questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Hextable?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hextable from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
