Hubberton Green: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
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. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Hubberton Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
