Bath repair in Bradwell without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Questions from Bradwell
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
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.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Bradwell and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you cover Bradwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bradwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bradwell
If you manage property in Bradwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Bradwell
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
