Bath repair in Hookwood without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Hookwood
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Hookwood
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Hookwood contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel

Questions from Hookwood
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Hookwood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hookwood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How much does bath repair cost in Hookwood?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
