The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Bath repair in Hutton without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hutton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What else we do in Hutton
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Hutton: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath repair in Hutton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
