Bath Repair for Hockerton homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Hockerton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
About our bath repair in Hockerton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
