Bath repair at your home in Great Hallingbury
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Hallingbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Great Hallingbury questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
