Bath repair in Bradfield, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bradfield and across Essex.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Bradfield
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Landlord and trade work in Bradfield
If you manage property in Bradfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
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 baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common questions in Bradfield
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
Are there extra charges for Bradfield?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bradfield.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
