Bath repair in South Ockendon, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in South Ockendon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in South Ockendon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
South Ockendon: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in South Ockendon?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
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.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
