About our bath repair in Low Street
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Low Street
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Thurrock.
Do you cover Low Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Low Street and the rest of Thurrock. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Thurrock and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Low Street
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Low Street. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Low Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Low Street
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
