Bath repair in Heckfield Green without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heckfield Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Heckfield Green
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heckfield Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Heckfield Green: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
