How bath repair works in SG5
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Prices in SG5
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Local landmarks in Stotfold
Around Stotfold, we work in homes near The Chequers Public House, Church of St Mary the Virgin and Roecroft Lower School, among other places. The closest station to Stotfold is Arlesey station, roughly 1.7 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Fairfield Hospital (1.1 miles south-west) and Bygrave House (3.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Arlesey Old Moat and Glebe Meadows.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit.
