- Snagging damage from a refit
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Bath repair at your home in West Hardwick
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath repair in West Hardwick
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
