Bath repair in Snodhill, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Snodhill
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Snodhill. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Snodhill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairing versus replacing in Snodhill
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath repair in Snodhill
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Snodhill included. Travel is included in the price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
