Bath repair at your home in South Hanningfield
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in South Hanningfield
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in South Hanningfield
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
