Alfold questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Bath repair in Alfold, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What affects the price in Alfold
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alfold. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Repair or replace in Alfold?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- Chips caused by builders

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Alfold, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alfold as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
