When to call us in Witham

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Witham questions

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, 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.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
