Questions from Horndon on the Hill
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Horndon on the Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Horndon on the Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
About our bath repair in Horndon on the Hill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Horndon on the Hill
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Horndon on the Hill
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horndon on the Hill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Horndon on the Hill
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Horndon on the Hill?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Horndon on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
