Bath repair in Tolleshunt Knights without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Tolleshunt Knights
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Are there extra charges for Tolleshunt Knights?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tolleshunt Knights. The price reflects:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
For a price in Tolleshunt Knights, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
