Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath repair in High Park Corner, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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 it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in High Park Corner
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Questions from High Park Corner
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How do I get a price for bath repair in High Park Corner?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
