How we handle bath repair in Foxash Estate
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Foxash Estate
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Common questions in Foxash Estate
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Foxash Estate
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Foxash Estate
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxash Estate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Common problems we fix in Foxash Estate
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
