Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Whippendell Bottom
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before booking anyone

- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
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.
Whippendell Bottom questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whippendell Bottom. Prices do not change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Whippendell Bottom?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whippendell Bottom and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whippendell Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
