Hadham Ford: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Hadham Ford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work in Hadham Ford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hadham Ford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG11 postcode.
Bath repair in Hadham Ford, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Hadham Ford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hadham Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
