About our bath repair in Boreham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairing versus replacing in Boreham
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boreham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Boreham
How do I get a price for bath repair in Boreham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Boreham included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
