How we handle bath repair in Henton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Henton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Henton
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Henton questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Henton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Henton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Henton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
