Bath repair at your home in Lower Hirst
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Lower Hirst
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
If you are in Lower Hirst and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Hirst
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Lower Hirst
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lower Hirst?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- 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 before you book.
