Bath repair at your home in Breeds
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Breeds: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Breeds?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Breeds
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Breeds
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Breeds. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Breeds
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
