DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair at your home in Horn Hill
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Horn Hill

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
