Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How we handle bath repair in Hudnall
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Hudnall?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from Hudnall
Are there extra charges for Hudnall?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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 photo.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
