Bath chip & crack repair in Chipperfield, Hertfordshire
Bath repair across Chipperfield and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle bath repair in Chipperfield
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace in Chipperfield?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chipperfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
