- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath repair in Henlow
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Henlow
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Henlow questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Henlow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Henlow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Henlow
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
