DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
South Hornchurch: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RM13 postcode.
What we are called out for in South Hornchurch
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What affects the price in South Hornchurch
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the whole UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
