How we handle bath repair in Tonwell
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Tonwell?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Tonwell
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Tonwell
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bath repair cost in Tonwell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG12 postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tonwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
