Bath repair in Hope without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
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.
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 early repairs matter.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for Hope
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Hope?
We do. We send a technician to Hope for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hope included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hope. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
