About our bath repair in St Mary Hoo
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

FAQs for St Mary Hoo
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in St Mary Hoo?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME3 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in St Mary Hoo
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
