Bath repair in Waltham St Lawrence without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Waltham St Lawrence?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in Waltham St Lawrence
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waltham St Lawrence. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
