About our bath repair in Hadley Wood
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Hadley Wood
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Hadley Wood
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
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, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
