DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Hinton Martell
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Hinton Martell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Hinton Martell: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When to call us in Hinton Martell
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
