About our bath repair in Old Hurst
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Old Hurst
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
