Bath repair at your home in Hemel Hempstead
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hemel Hempstead. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Hemel Hempstead
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Landlord and trade work in Hemel Hempstead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Hemel Hempstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
