Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basildon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Basildon
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Basildon
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
