Common problems we fix in Moulsham
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Bath repair in Moulsham, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
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. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Moulsham
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Moulsham questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Moulsham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
