Bath repair in Hinton without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- A chip where the taps sit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hinton. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hinton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
