Bath repair in Lower Hopton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Lower Hopton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Hopton

What else we do in Lower Hopton
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in Lower Hopton
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
