How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our bath repair in Blake End
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Blake End and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For a price in Blake End, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Blake End
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
