Bath repair in Bricket Wood without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Bricket Wood?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Bricket Wood
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bricket Wood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Bricket Wood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Bricket Wood
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
