What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Bath repair in Lea Bridge without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Lea Bridge?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Lea Bridge: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Landlord and trade work in Lea Bridge
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lea Bridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Work done at your home or business
- Typically one visit, start to finish

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
