Bath repair at your home in Latton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Latton
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Latton.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Latton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Latton and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Latton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for 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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
