How we handle bath repair in Houghton Regis
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Houghton Regis
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Houghton Regis contact us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Houghton Regis questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What else we do in Houghton Regis
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Houghton Regis
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
