Bath repair in Little Baddow without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Little Baddow
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Baddow?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Baddow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
