How we handle bath repair in Hemingford Abbots
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Hemingford Abbots
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingford Abbots use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Hemingford Abbots
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairing versus replacing in Hemingford Abbots
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hemingford Abbots

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hemingford Abbots. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
