How we handle bath repair in Great Gaddesden
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
