Your questions about bath repair in Little Waltham
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Little Waltham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Little Waltham
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Little Waltham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
