About our bath repair in North Weald Bassett
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Do you need bath repair in North Weald Bassett?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
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’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in North Weald Bassett
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath repair cost in North Weald Bassett?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
