What we’re called out for in Hyde
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Hyde questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hyde?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP6 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
