How we handle bath repair in Dudswell
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dudswell and across Hertfordshire.

Signs you need bath repair in Dudswell
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Dudswell
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Dudswell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover Dudswell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dudswell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
