Bath chip & crack repair in Rayne, Essex
Bath repair across Rayne and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Rayne without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM77 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rayne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
