How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Bath repair at your home in Hopwood
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Hopwood
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items

FAQs for Hopwood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Hopwood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hopwood. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
