Bath repair in Widford without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Widford. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Widford
Do you come to Widford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Widford and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Widford
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Repairing versus replacing in Widford
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
