Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hemingford Grey, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemingford Grey
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingford Grey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hemingford Grey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
