Bath repair in Haultwick without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Places near Haultwick
What else we do in Haultwick
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

When to call us in Haultwick
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Haultwick questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Haultwick?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Haultwick and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
