Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How we handle bath repair in Hook

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. You can usually use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hook questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you cover Hook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hook and the rest of Pembrokeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hook included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Hook?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
