Landlord and trade work in Great Bentley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Bentley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle bath repair in Great Bentley
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Great Bentley questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Great Bentley
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Bentley. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Bentley
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
