Bath repair in Debden, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Debden: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Debden?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Debden
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
