Bath repair in and around Theydon Bois: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Theydon Bois. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Theydon Bois customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it

Bath repair at your home in Theydon Bois
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 following day. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Theydon Bois as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in Theydon Bois
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Theydon Bois: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
