Hooton Roberts questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath repair cost in Hooton Roberts?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover Hooton Roberts?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hooton Roberts. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When to call us in Hooton Roberts
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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 repair chips early.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlord and trade work in Hooton Roberts
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hooton Roberts as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
