Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath repair in Foxholes
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What affects the price in Foxholes
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Your questions about bath repair in Foxholes
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover Foxholes?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foxholes and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
