Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Hopsford
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Hopsford?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Hopsford: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Coventry?
Everywhere in the UK, Hopsford included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
