What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Hunsdon, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What bath repair costs

- Doing more than one item at once

Questions from Hunsdon
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hunsdon?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you cover Hunsdon?

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
