Bath repair in Radwell, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Radwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Radwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Radwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Radwell

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Radwell questions

How do I get a price for bath repair in Radwell?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG7 postcode.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
