The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Hexton?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Hexton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
