How we handle bath repair in Gambles Green
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Gambles Green: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our 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, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Common problems we fix in Gambles Green
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Gambles Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
