Bath chip & crack repair in Bennetts End, Hertfordshire

- Damage beneath the taps
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair in Bennetts End without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath repair in Bennetts End
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
