Bath repair in Duton Hill, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Common problems we fix in Duton Hill
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For a price in Duton Hill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Duton Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
