DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about bath repair in Hinton Ampner
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hinton Ampner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Hinton Ampner get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What else we do in Hinton Ampner
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
