Bath repair at your home in Yardley Hastings
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

FAQs for Yardley Hastings
How much does bath repair cost in Yardley Hastings?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NN7 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Yardley Hastings?
We do. We send a technician to Yardley Hastings for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
What affects the price in Yardley Hastings
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Yardley Hastings. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Do you need bath repair in Yardley Hastings?
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.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
