How it works

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

How we handle bath repair in Digswell
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Digswell
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Digswell: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Digswell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Materials we work on in Digswell
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
