Our bath repair service in HR3
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in HR3, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in HR3
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
FAQs for HR3
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
