Advice
Bath repair at your home in Hadham Cross
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hadham Cross
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Hadham Cross
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items

Hadham Cross questions
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Hadham Cross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hadham Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
