How we handle bath repair in Hirst Courtney
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Hirst Courtney: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hirst Courtney. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
