Do you need bath repair in Braiswick?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Bath repair in Braiswick without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Braiswick. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Braiswick and the surrounding area
Braiswick is about 1 mile north of Camulodunum, in Essex. We visit clients in Braiswick and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Braiswick is one of 644 towns and villages in Essex where we work. Our jobs stretch from Braiswick to London (about 49 miles away).
Jobs in CO3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Jobs here include addresses on Park Road, Church Lane and Lexden Road. Braiswick is on the A1124, which makes it straightforward to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include Camulodunum (1 mile south), Lexden (1 mile south), Colchester (1 mile east), Abbey Field (2 miles south-east) and Beacon End (2 miles west).

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Braiswick
For anyone letting property in or around Braiswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Braiswick: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Braiswick?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Braiswick and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repair or replace in Braiswick?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
