About our bath repair in Tolleshunt Major
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Tolleshunt Major
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Tolleshunt Major questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Tolleshunt Major?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tolleshunt Major from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tolleshunt Major. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
