Bath chip & crack repair in Hurst, Wokingham

- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Bath repair in Hurst, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Hurst
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you come to Hurst?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hurst from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
The process
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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hurst
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hurst. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurst as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Hurst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we are called out for in Hurst
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace in Hurst?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
