About our bath repair in Hibaldstow

Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hibaldstow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in Hibaldstow
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items

Questions from Hibaldstow
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Hibaldstow?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hibaldstow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
