There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Henlade
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Henlade. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Henlade. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Henlade, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Henlade
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
