Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

About our bath repair in Hunnington
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Hunnington
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Hunnington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Hunnington
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hunnington. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need bath repair in Hunnington?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dudley and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
