How we handle bath repair in Stotfold
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we are called out for in Stotfold
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace in Stotfold?

Different materials, different repairs
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for Stotfold
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
