Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

When to call us in Old Hawkinge
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Old Hawkinge questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
More services for Old Hawkinge
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
