Bath repair in Hope without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Hope
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hope. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Hope and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we are called out for in Hope
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
