Bath Repair in Sand Hill
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Sand Hill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Sand Hill without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Sand Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Sand Hill?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Sand Hill
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything

FAQs for Sand Hill
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
