Bath repair at your home in Hoswick
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hoswick. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for Hoswick
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hoswick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Repair or replace in Hoswick?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoswick
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
