With average house prices exceeding £800,000, Berkhamsted homeowners understand the value of maintaining quality fixtures.

A Grade II listed Tudor property near Berkhamsted Castle required careful restoration of an original copper bath discovered during renovation. The bath, potentially 200 years old, had developed verdigris and multiple patches of wear. Working with conservation guidelines, we restored the interior while preserving the exterior patina. The project took two days, cost £675, and satisfied both the owners and conservation officer. Replacement would have been impossible due to the bath's historical significance. Our 12-month warranty covers the restoration work.
The Hendersons contacted us when their son accidentally cracked their acrylic bath while preparing for Ashlyns School's rugby season. With relatives arriving for a celebration that weekend, they needed an urgent solution. We provided same-day service, completing an invisible repair in three hours for £285. The alternative - rushing a replacement - would have cost £2,000 and taken a week. Two years later, the repair remains perfect despite heavy family use.
New owners of a Victorian villa near Kitsbury Road inherited a magnificent but damaged cast iron bath. Years of limescale had hidden extensive enamel loss and rust patches. Rather than lose this period feature, they chose restoration. We completed full re-enamelling, returning the bath to showroom condition for £495. Sourcing and installing a comparable quality replacement would have exceeded £5,000. The restored bath now forms the centerpiece of their luxury bathroom, protected by our comprehensive warranty.
The heart of Berkhamsted around the High Street contains properties spanning eight centuries. From medieval timber-framed buildings to Georgian townhouses, these homes often feature bathrooms added during Victorian or later renovations. Cast iron baths are common, frequently showing their age with chips, worn enamel, and rust. Our bath repair near Berkhamsted High Street preserves these character features while ensuring modern performance.
Castle Street and the surrounding conservation area demand particular sensitivity. Many properties here are listed, making bath replacement complicated and expensive. We work within conservation guidelines, using appropriate materials and techniques that maintain historical integrity. Our 30 years of experience includes numerous projects in Berkhamsted's most prestigious period properties.
The arrival of the railway in 1838 triggered massive expansion, creating the Victorian suburbs that characterize much of Berkhamsted. Areas like Cross Oak Road, Charles Street, and Kitsbury Road feature substantial Victorian villas with original bathroom fittings. These cast iron baths, often with decorative feet and rolled edges, are increasingly valuable as period features.
Damage typically includes enamel wear around the overflow and plug, chips from decades of use, and rust where the coating has failed. Our restoration process returns these baths to original glory using modern materials that outperform Victorian enamel. Many estate agents confirm that retaining original features significantly impacts property values in these sought-after areas.
Berkhamsted continues to grow with developments like Canal Fields, Bearroc Park, and conversions along the Grand Union Canal. These properties feature contemporary bathrooms with designer fixtures from brands like Villeroy & Boch and Duravit.
