Bath Repair in Hornchurch
Bath repair for Hornchurch, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our bath repair in Hornchurch
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornchurch as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, 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.
Do you need bath repair in Hornchurch?
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items

Hornchurch questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
