Your questions about bath repair in Hook
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Hook is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hook. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Hook and nearby
Hook is about 2 miles north-west of Ewell, in Greater London. Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Hook and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Hook
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
