Bath repair at your home in Henshaw
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Henshaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Henshaw customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Henshaw
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What we’re called out for in Henshaw
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Henshaw contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
