About our bath repair in Henton

We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Henton questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What affects the price in Henton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Henton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Henton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Related advice
When to call us in Henton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
