Bath repair in Felsted, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Felsted

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Felsted, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Felsted

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Felsted?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Felsted and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
