Bath repair at your home in Little Bromley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Bromley. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Little Bromley
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

More services for Little Bromley
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bromley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Little Bromley
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Little Bromley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Bromley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
