Bath repair in Humshaugh without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Humshaugh. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
Most customers in Humshaugh get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Humshaugh
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
