How we handle bath repair in Brentwood
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When to call us in Brentwood
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brentwood
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brentwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath repair in Brentwood
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
