Bath repair at your home in Little Hadham
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Little Hadham
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Signs you need bath repair in Little Hadham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
