Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath repair in Helions Bumpstead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Helions Bumpstead
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Helions Bumpstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Helions Bumpstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Helions Bumpstead
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Helions Bumpstead. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
