What affects the price in Hotham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Hotham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath repair in Hotham without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Hotham questions
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hotham?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, 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.
