Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hendra. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your pictures

About our bath repair in Hendra
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hendra
For anyone letting property in or around Hendra, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
FAQs for Hendra
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Hendra?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Hendra?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hendra. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
