Bath repair in Flamstead without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we’re called out for in Flamstead
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Flamstead: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
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.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Flamstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Flamstead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Flamstead.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
