Repair or replace in Winchmore Hill?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle bath repair in Winchmore Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Common questions in Winchmore Hill
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Buckinghamshire.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Signs you need bath repair in Winchmore Hill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
