Signs you need bath repair in Little Dunmow
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Little Dunmow
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
