How we handle bath repair in Standon Green End
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better 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)

Standon Green End questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG11 postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Standon Green End

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
