About our bath repair in Fryerning
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fryerning and across Essex.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Your questions about bath repair in Fryerning
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
