How we handle bath repair in Monkey Street
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Monkey Street
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

Questions from Monkey Street
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Monkey Street and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
