How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
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.

Bath repair in Aveley without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aveley: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Aveley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aveley. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aveley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Aveley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
