Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in The Hacket, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair in The Hacket, done in place
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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in 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.
Your questions about bath repair in The Hacket
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath repair cost in The Hacket?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BS35 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

What affects the price in The Hacket
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Hacket. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Hacket, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in The Hacket
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
