About our bath repair in Huttoft
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Advice
Other services in Huttoft
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Huttoft
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Huttoft
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides

Your questions about bath repair in Huttoft
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
