Bath chip & crack repair in Stock, Essex
Damaged bath in Stock? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Stock without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Stock
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Stock
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
Are there extra charges for Stock?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Do you work in Stock?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stock. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What affects the price in Stock
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
