Bath repair at your home in Harold Wood
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What else we do in Harold Wood
Do you need bath repair in Harold Wood?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole

Harold Wood questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Harold Wood?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
