About our bath repair in Fairlop
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Fairlop
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Fairlop included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairlop. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairlop
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairlop use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What we are called out for in Fairlop
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
