How we handle bath repair in Hastoe
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hastoe. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
