Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Bath repair in Hook End without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Signs you need bath repair in Hook End
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish

- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hook End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
