About our bath repair in Hutton Henry
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Hutton Henry
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hutton Henry, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.

Hutton Henry questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hutton Henry.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hutton Henry
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hutton Henry use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
