Our bath repair service in HS8

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. You can usually use the bath the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in HS8

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

FAQs for HS8

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
