Bath repair in Nevendon without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Nevendon?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What else we do in Nevendon
Nevendon: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
