When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Bath repair in Hinton, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Hinton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hinton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- 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, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath repair in Hinton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Hinton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hinton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
