FAQs for Huntington
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?

Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Different materials, different repairs
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 repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
On the day, 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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
When to call us in Huntington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Landlord and trade work in Huntington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why Huntington clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
