How we handle bath repair in Honing
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Honing
- Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
