Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howden Hall
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Howden Hall: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
