- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Bath repair in Hartford End, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Hartford End
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Hartford End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Hartford End
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you work in Hartford End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hartford End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
