Bath repair in Hop Pole, done in place
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit

Common questions in Hop Pole
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Hop Pole?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
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.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you cover Hop Pole?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hop Pole and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Hop Pole
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hop Pole. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
