Bath chip & crack repair in Willingale, Essex
Our technicians come to Willingale for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
About our bath repair in Willingale
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Willingale. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
