Bath repair at your home in Ashwell End

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. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashwell End and across Hertfordshire.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures 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.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashwell End

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashwell End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Ashwell End

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashwell End. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashwell End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
