How we handle bath repair in New England
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlord and trade work in New England
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New England as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in New England
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
New England: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in New England?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in New England
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
