Bath repair at your home in Battlesbridge
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Battlesbridge: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Battlesbridge?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
