Bath repair in Hooke, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Hooke

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

FAQs for Hooke

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you cover Hooke?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hooke

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hooke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
