Bath repair in Little Billing, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Billing
For anyone letting property in or around Little Billing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Little Billing
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Little Billing
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Little Billing get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area

Questions from Little Billing
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
