Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.

What else we do in Hunsonby
Do you need bath repair in Hunsonby?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hunsonby. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hunsonby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hunsonby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
