Landlord and trade work in Lee Chapel
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lee Chapel use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Bath repair in Lee Chapel, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Questions from Lee Chapel
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What affects the price in Lee Chapel
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Lee Chapel get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Lee Chapel?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath repair in Lee Chapel
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
