Bath repair in North Mymms without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Mymms as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
