- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
About our bath repair in Bernards Heath
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bernards Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Bernards Heath
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you work in Bernards Heath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bernards Heath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bernards Heath. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Bernards Heath
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Repairing versus replacing in Bernards Heath
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
