How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hunston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hunston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Hunston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Hunston
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 generally the cheaper route.
