Bath repair in Chandler's Cross, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. 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. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Chandler's Cross questions
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Chandler's Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chandler's Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Do you need bath repair in Chandler's Cross?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chandler's Cross
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chandler's Cross, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
