Questions from Horsleycross Street
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Horsleycross Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horsleycross Street and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
