Repair or replace in Little Almshoe?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

About our bath repair in Little Almshoe
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in Little Almshoe
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Little Almshoe questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Little Almshoe and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Almshoe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
