What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

For anyone letting property in or around Havering-atte-Bower, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Havering-atte-Bower
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Havering-atte-Bower. The price depends on:

Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Havering-atte-Bower
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RM4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we are called out for in Havering-atte-Bower
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Roll-top & freestanding
