About our bath repair in Henham
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Henham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need bath repair in Henham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Repairing versus replacing in Henham
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Henham
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Henham. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
