Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

About our bath repair in Hoddesdon
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Hoddesdon
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EN11 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For a price in Hoddesdon, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hoddesdon
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we are called out for in Hoddesdon
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
