Waltham Cross: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Waltham Cross?
We do. We send a technician to Waltham Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What affects the price in Waltham Cross
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Waltham Cross
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What we cannot put right

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
