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, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Bourne End questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bourne End?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
Across the UK, so Bourne End is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you cover Bourne End?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bourne End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Bourne End
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bourne End. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Bourne End
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
