Our bath repair service in Essex

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Pricing in Essex

Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Local landmarks in Colchester

Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House and the streets around them. You’ll also find Colchester Sixth Form College (under half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Colchester itself: Colchester Town station. Nearby you’ll also find Lion Walk (within half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (under half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Westhouse Wood.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Essex. The price depends on:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
How much damage there is
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

The material, if you know it
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Details of any past repairs
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Essex questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Essex?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Essex from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
