How we handle bath repair in Rickmansworth
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Rickmansworth
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WD3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
