About our bath repair in Upminster
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through

Common questions in Upminster
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work in Upminster?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upminster from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What we are called out for in Upminster
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
