About our bath repair in Hendra
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hendra as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we are called out for in Hendra
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work

FAQs for Hendra
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Other services in Hendra
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Hendra
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hendra, and we will reply with a fixed price.
