The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brook Street

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Brook Street: your questions answered

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Brook Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brook Street and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
