About our bath repair in Quendon
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Quendon
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repairing versus replacing in Quendon
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Quendon clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
