About our bath repair in Hook Common
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Hook Common
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Your questions about bath repair in Hook Common
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Other services in Hook Common
What we’re called out for in Hook Common
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in Hook Common
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hook Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
