Bath Repair for Hitcham homes
Problem with your bath in Hitcham? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Hitcham
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hitcham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Hitcham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Hitcham contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Hitcham
Are there extra charges for Hitcham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hitcham. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Hitcham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hitcham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
