How we handle bath repair in Toot Hill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What affects the price in Toot Hill
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically 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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Toot Hill
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Toot Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Toot Hill and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
