Repairing versus replacing in Totternhoe
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about bath repair in Totternhoe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty 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 are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Totternhoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
