How we handle bath repair in Bobbingworth
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Bobbingworth
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Bobbingworth
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
