Bath repair in Boreham, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Boreham
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Boreham. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Boreham
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Boreham: your questions answered
Do you work in Boreham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boreham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Boreham.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
