Your questions about bath repair in Hoften's Cross
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Hoften's Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Bath repair at your home in Hoften's Cross
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 early repairs matter.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
