Common problems we fix in Chingford Hatch
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
About our bath repair in Chingford Hatch
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Chingford Hatch
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not 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.
Chingford Hatch: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work in Chingford Hatch?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chingford Hatch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
