- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle bath repair in Outer Hope
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Outer Hope?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Outer Hope
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Outer Hope?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you come to Outer Hope?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Outer Hope from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Outer Hope, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
