Bath repair at your home in Aston
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’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Our work in Aston
Aston is about 2 miles south-east of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire. We travel to homes and businesses in Aston, so nothing has to leave your home. Aston is one of 381 towns and villages in Hertfordshire where we work. You can also see our page for London, about 27 miles away.

Nearby, we also work in Bragbury End (1 mile south), Shephall (1 mile west), Hook's Cross (1 mile south), Benington (2 miles east) and Knebworth (2 miles south-west).

Also close by are Aston St Mary's Church of England Aided Primary School (within half a mile north) and Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin (less than half a mile south-west).

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Aston
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
