- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

What affects the price in Little Parndon
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Little Parndon: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Parndon?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Little Parndon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
