Common questions in Hertford Heath
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hertford Heath included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hertford Heath. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?

Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hertford Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
