Bath Repair for St Ippolyts homes
Problem with your bath in St Ippolyts? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath repair in St Ippolyts
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from St Ippolyts
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including St Ippolyts and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Ippolyts
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
