Bath repair in Heronsgate without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small 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 technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Heronsgate
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

FAQs for Heronsgate
Are there extra charges for Heronsgate?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
