Bath repair in Wareside without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Wareside

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wareside. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wareside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Wareside

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures 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.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Wareside and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
