Bath repair in Little Hayfield, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Little Hayfield: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When to call us in Little Hayfield
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Little Hayfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
