Questions from Housham Tye
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Housham Tye. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Housham Tye. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Housham Tye
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
