Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in London Colney, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath repair in London Colney without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in London Colney?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
