Bath repair in Helmdon without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Helmdon
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Helmdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Helmdon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional 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 usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
