Our bath repair service in HU8
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in HU8, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in HU8
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
HU8 questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in HU8?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including HU8 and the rest of Hull. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
