About our bath repair in Boyton Cross
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Boyton Cross questions
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Boyton Cross. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Boyton Cross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath repair in Boyton Cross
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
