Bath repair in Bell Bar, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Bell Bar
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repairing versus replacing in Bell Bar
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Bell Bar
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover Bell Bar?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bell Bar and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
