What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair at your home in South Mimms
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 technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Mimms, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Repair or replace in South Mimms?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from South Mimms
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work in South Mimms?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Mimms and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlord and trade work in South Mimms
For anyone letting property in or around South Mimms, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
