How we handle bath repair in Billericay

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Billericay and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Billericay

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Billericay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Common questions in Billericay

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Billericay.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Billericay

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
