Bath Repair for Hoy homes
Our technicians come to Hoy for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

About our bath repair in Hoy
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Hoy questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hoy included. Travel is included in the price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Hoy?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hoy. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

When to call us in Hoy
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
What else we do in Hoy
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Hoy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
