About our bath repair in Chigwell
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Chigwell
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Chigwell.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chigwell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Chigwell
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

What else we do in Chigwell
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chigwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit

- Open a window if you can
