How we handle bath repair in Hyde
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hyde and across Swindon.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What else we do in Hyde
Common problems we fix in Hyde
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Repair or replace in Hyde?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
