Common questions in Hook's Cross
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
When to call us in Hook's Cross
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For a price in Hook's Cross, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
