Bath Repair for Old Hutton homes
Fixed-price bath repair in Old Hutton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Bath repair in Old Hutton without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Old Hutton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Hutton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Old Hutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Hutton
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
